Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of overlock machine technology, and specifically to an automatic overlock machine for irregularly shaped armbands. Background Technology

[0002] The current edge-binding process for products such as armbands and shoulder patches is all done manually. During manual operation, there is no precise fixed position for edge binding, resulting in poor edge uniformity and an unattractive appearance after the product is finished. Because it relies entirely on manual operation, the processing cost is high, the processing steps are cumbersome, the labor intensity is high, and the work efficiency is low, which does not meet the needs of automated production advocated by today's society.

[0003] The inventor is dedicated to developing an overlock machine to solve the aforementioned technical problems and has applied for patents, such as the fully automatic overlock machine disclosed in the invention patent with authorization announcement number CN108866843B. This fully automatic overlock machine can solve the aforementioned technical problems and achieve the following technical effects: The invention has a precise structure and strong practicality. It integrates automatic feeding, automatic overlocking, automatic thread cutting, and automatic material collection into one unit, and is a fully automated production process. It replaces the traditional manual overlocking process, greatly improves the production accuracy of the product, makes the edge uniformity of the processed product excellent, and ensures the consistency of product quality. It can also reduce labor intensity, effectively improve production efficiency, reduce processing costs, and has strong market competitiveness.

[0004] During the continuous development of the overlock machine, the inventors discovered the following problems: The overlock head of the aforementioned fully automatic overlock machine uses a straight needle for sewing and overlocking. However, for armbands and shoulder patches that are thicker or made of denser and harder materials, the straight needle cannot directly pass through them. Or, after passing through the armbands and shoulder patches that are thicker or made of denser and harder materials, the stitching thread on the straight needle is also prone to breakage. Furthermore, for some irregularly shaped armbands and shoulder patches with more prominent parts, a larger rotation space is required during the overlocking process. However, the inner space of the current overlock machine head is relatively small, causing irregularly shaped armbands and shoulder patches with more prominent parts to bend and rotate during the rotation process. This requires manual bending of the edges of the irregularly shaped armbands and shoulder patches, otherwise it will affect the overlocking quality. Moreover, for irregularly shaped armbands and shoulder patches that are thicker or made of denser and harder materials with more prominent parts, bending is not possible, making it impossible to achieve the overlocking work.

[0005] In view of this, the inventors have proposed the following technical solution through continuous research and experimentation. Summary of the Invention

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, this utility model has the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art:

[0018] 1. This utility model employs a curved needle that swings and inserts at an angle to sew irregularly shaped patches. This method achieves easy insertion and prevents thread breakage during sewing. Even for thicker or denser, harder irregularly shaped patches, the curved needle can easily insert and pass through, ensuring the stitching quality is maintained. Furthermore, while keeping the size of the edging device constant, the distance between the curved needle and the sidewall can be set to be greater than or equal to 10mm. This distance serves as the width of the inner bend space, increasing the edging space and allowing for sufficient rotation of protruding irregularly shaped patches. During rotation, manual bending is not required to assist in edging, allowing the patch to pass smoothly through in one go, completing the inner bend edging.

[0029] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0030] See Figure 1-9 As shown, an automatic edge-locking machine for irregularly shaped armbands includes a base 1, a worktable 2 mounted on the base 1, a material storage and feeding device 3 mounted on the base 1, a feeding and positioning device 4 for transporting irregularly shaped armbands from the material storage and feeding device 3 to the worktable 2 and pre-positioning the irregularly shaped armbands, an edge-locking device 5 for edge-locking the irregularly shaped armbands, and a material conveying device 6 for picking up or grabbing the positioned irregularly shaped armbands and conveying them to the edge-locking device 5 and driving the irregularly shaped armbands to rotate in coordination with the edge-locking device 5 for edge-locking.

[0031] The base 1 is also equipped with an operating platform 11, which is equipped with at least a display screen 12, an input device 13, and a vision system 7 for taking pictures of the product to determine its shape, or to determine the starting point of the edging, or to perform coordinate positioning of the product. The base 1 is equipped with a main controller 10. The vision system 7, the display screen 12, and the input device 13 are all electrically connected to the main controller 10. After the vision system 7 takes pictures of the product, the camera software processes the photographic material to generate coordinate information and feeds it back to the main controller 10. The main controller 10 receives the data fed back by the camera software and performs corresponding action processing. This utility model adds an operating platform 11, a display screen 12, an input device 13, and a vision system 7. The vision system 7 is used to photograph the product to determine its shape and automatically select the corresponding program to perform edge binding, eliminating the need for manual operation. It is simple to operate and highly intelligent and automated. Furthermore, when the edge binding machine picks up materials for products such as armbands and shoulder patches, the vision system 7 photographs the product to determine its coordinates, enabling arbitrary material placement and accurate product positioning to ensure the quality of the subsequent edge binding. The vision system 7 also photographs the product to determine the starting point of the edge binding, replacing the needler for positioning and ensuring aesthetically pleasing stitching, thus improving product quality. The input device 13 includes at least a keyboard 131 and a mouse 132.

[0032] The storage and feeding device 3 includes a storage frame 31 for storing irregularly shaped armbands, a feeding top plate 32 disposed in the storage frame 31, and a lifting drive module 33 for driving the feeding top plate 32 to rise and fall.

[0033] The feeding and positioning device 4 includes a frame 41 mounted on the workbench 2, a rotary cylinder 42 fixedly installed on the upper end of the frame 41, a swing arm 43 mounted on the rotary cylinder 42 and driven by the rotary cylinder 42 to achieve rotation, a picking cylinder 44 installed at the end of the swing arm 43, a suction head 45 installed at the lower end of the picking cylinder 44 and driven by the picking cylinder 44 to achieve lifting and for picking up irregular armbands, a scraper 46 mounted on the upper surface of the workbench 2, and a positioning cylinder 47 for driving the scraper 46 to move horizontally.

[0034] The feeding and positioning device 4 is installed on the base 1 and is used to transport the irregularly shaped armbands sent out by the material storage and feeding device 3 to the workbench 2 and to pre-position the irregularly shaped armbands. Specifically, the feeding and positioning device 4 includes a frame 41 mounted on the workbench 2, a rotary cylinder 42 fixedly installed on the upper end of the frame 41, a swing arm 43 mounted on the rotary cylinder 42 and driven by the rotary cylinder 42 to achieve rotation, a picking cylinder 44 installed at the end of the swing arm 43, a suction head 45 installed at the lower end of the picking cylinder 44 and driven by the picking cylinder 44 to achieve lifting and picking up the irregularly shaped armbands, a scraper 46 mounted on the upper surface of the workbench 2, and a positioning cylinder 47 for driving the scraper 46 to move horizontally. During operation, the rotary cylinder 42 drives the swing arm 43 to rotate, causing the suction head 45 to move above the storage frame 31. Then, the picking cylinder 44 drives the suction head 45 to descend and pick up the irregular arm patch from the top of the storage frame 31. Next, the picking cylinder 44 drives the suction head 45 to rise, and the rotary cylinder 42 drives the swing arm 43 to rotate, causing the suction head 45 to move above the worktable 2. The picking cylinder 44 then drives the suction head 45 to descend and place the irregular arm patch on the worktable 2. Negative pressure is then generated by the vacuum hole 22 to adsorb the irregular arm patch, achieving pre-positioning. The vision system 7 then takes a picture of the irregular arm patch for positioning. In addition, the positioning cylinder 47 drives the shovel 46 to move horizontally, moving the irregular arm patch to the predetermined position, thereby achieving positioning. This achieves two different positioning methods, and only one method needs to be used in the specific implementation. The vision system 7 takes pictures to locate irregularly shaped armbands. This method can generally only locate the origin point for regular irregularly shaped armbands to perform coordinate positioning. It can replace the shovel for positioning to a certain extent, but the positioning effect is not ideal for irregularly shaped armbands. However, using the shovel 46 to push the irregularly shaped armband to the predetermined position can also achieve stable positioning for irregularly shaped armbands. In addition, this utility model uses a rotary cylinder 42 in conjunction with a swing arm 43 to move irregularly shaped armbands, which has a simpler structure, occupies less space, and is more convenient to use.

[0035] The device comprises two swing arms 43, fixed as a single unit and arranged at right angles. It also comprises two material storage and feeding devices 3, equidistantly positioned on either side of the rotary cylinder 42. The shovel 46 is located on the central axis of the two material storage and feeding devices 3. During operation, one swing arm 43, through the material-picking cylinder 44 and suction head 45, picks up a shaped arm patch from one material storage and feeding device 3 and transports it to the front of the shovel 46. Simultaneously, the other swing arm 43 rotates to drive the material-picking cylinder 44, in conjunction with the suction head 45, to move to the other material storage and feeding device 3, thereby absorbing the shaped arm patch. This process alternately transfers the shaped arm patches from the two material storage and feeding devices 3 to the front of the shovel 46.

[0036] The frame 41 is mounted above the positioning cylinder 47, and its structure is more compact and occupies less space.

[0037] The overlocking device 5 includes: a machine body 51, on the side of which a groove 510 is formed, the groove 510 having a side wall 5101, and a needle plate seat 512 provided at the bottom of the groove 510, the needle plate seat 512 also being provided with a needle plate 513, the needle plate 513 being embedded in the clearance groove 20 of the worktable 2; and a drive device 52, which includes an upper shaft 521 and a lower shaft 522 passing through the machine body 51 and parallel to each other, an upper cam 523 mounted on the upper shaft 521 and placed inside the machine body 51, and a lower cam mounted on the lower shaft 522 and placed inside the machine body 51. The upper cam 523 is coupled with a lower cam 524, an eccentric member 525 disposed at the end of the upper shaft 521, an eyeglass linkage member 526 mounted at the end of the eccentric member 525, a needle member 527 mounted on the eyeglass linkage member 526, and a bent needle 528 fixed at the end of the needle member 527. The bent needle 528 is located outside the side wall 5101 and above the needle plate 513. The distance between the bent needle 528 and the side wall 5101 is greater than or equal to 10 mm, and the distance between the bent needle 528 and the side wall 5101 is used as the width of the inner bay space of the bag. This invention utilizes a curved needle 528 that swings and inserts at an angle to sew and hem irregularly shaped patches. This achieves easy insertion and prevents thread breakage during sewing. Even for thicker or denser, harder irregularly shaped patches, the curved needle 528 easily inserts and passes through, ensuring the thread on the needle will not break, thus guaranteeing the quality of the hemming. Furthermore, this invention ensures that the hemming device is 5 feet long. Without changing the dimensions, the distance between the bent needle 528 and the side wall 5101 can be set to be greater than or equal to 10mm, and the distance between the bent needle 28 and the side wall 5101 is used as the width of the inner bay space of the bag. This increases the space for edge locking, allowing the irregularly shaped armbands that are more prominent to have sufficient space to rotate. During the rotation process, no manual bending is required to assist in edge locking, so that the irregularly shaped armbands can pass through smoothly in one go to complete the inner bay edge locking. This achieves the purpose of saving time and effort and improving efficiency, making this utility model highly competitive in the market.

[0038] The distance between the bent needle 528 and the side wall 5101 is 15mm-25mm. Furthermore, the distance between the bent needle 528 and the side wall 5101 is 19mm-22mm, such as 19mm, 19.5mm, 20mm, 20.5mm, 21mm, 22mm, etc.

[0039] The sidewall 5101 is provided with a through hole 5102, and the eccentric member 525 is inserted into the hole 5102 and can rotate within the hole 5102.

[0040] The side wall 5101 is provided with a guide plate 5103, and the guide plate 5103 is provided with a guide piece 5104 in the direction away from the side wall 5101. The guide piece 5104 is located above the needle plate 513, and the front end of the guide piece 5104 is also provided with an upwardly curved guide roll edge.

[0041] The eyeglass linkage 526 includes a straight section 5261 and a first connecting section 5262 and a second connecting section 5263 integrally formed at both ends of the straight section 5261; the eccentric member 525 is provided with an eccentric column 5251, and the first connecting section 5262 of the eyeglass linkage 526 is sleeved on the eccentric column 5251, so that when the eccentric member 525 rotates with the upper shaft 521, the eyeglass linkage 526 will rotate eccentrically relative to the upper shaft 521 through the eccentric column 5251, and the needle member 527 will realize the swinging motion.

[0042] The needle part 527 includes a column part 5271, a first connecting plate 5272 integrally formed on the side of the column part 5271 and extending downward, a connecting post 5273 formed on the side of the first connecting plate 5272, a connecting sleeve 5274 located next to the connecting post 5273, and a spiral fastener 5275 spirally disposed on the other side of the column part 5271 opposite to the first connecting plate 5272. The second connecting part 5263 of the eyeglass linkage 526 is sleeved on the connecting post 5273. The head of the curved needle 528 is installed between the column part 5271 and the spiral fastener 5275, and the curved needle 528 is locked by tightening the spiral fastener 5275.

[0043] The driving device 52 further includes a driving module 520 that is installed in conjunction with the first cam groove 5231 on the surface of the upper cam 523 and the second cam groove 5241 on the surface of the lower cam 524; an upper hook needle 5291 and a lower hook needle 5292 that are disposed on the driving module 520 and cooperate with the bent needle 528; the upper hook needle 5291 is located outside the side wall 5101 and above the needle plate 513; wherein, the rear end periphery of the upper cam 523 is provided with a first tooth, and the rear end periphery of the lower cam 524 is provided with a second tooth, the first tooth meshing with the second tooth, so that the upper cam 523 and the lower cam 524 move together.

[0044] The conveying device 6 is installed on the base 1 and is used to pick up or grab the positioned irregular arm patch and convey it to the edge-locking device 5 and drive the irregular arm patch to rotate in order to cooperate with the edge-locking device 5 to lock the edge.

[0045] The material conveying device 6 includes an XYZ three-axis drive mechanism 61, a rotating mechanism 62 mounted on the XYZ three-axis drive mechanism 61 and driven by the XYZ three-axis drive mechanism 61 to move along the XYZ three axes, and a pressure plate 63 mounted on the lower end of the rotating mechanism 62 and driven by the rotating mechanism 62 to rotate. The XYZ three-axis drive mechanism 61 drives the pressure plate 63 to press against the irregular arm patch to drive the irregular arm patch to move in the XYZ three-axis direction to realize material conveying. The rotating mechanism 62 drives the pressure plate 63 to rotate to drive the irregular arm patch to rotate, and cooperates with the XYZ three-axis drive mechanism 61 to drive it to move in the XYZ three-axis direction, thereby realizing the edge locking process of the irregular arm patch in conjunction with the edge locking device 5.

[0046] The vision system 7 includes a CCD camera 71 mounted on the outside of the operating table 11 and an LED light source 72 that cooperates with the CCD camera 71. Both the LED light source 72 and the CCD camera 71 face the worktable 2.

[0047] The LED light source 72 is ring-shaped and is distributed around the lower periphery of the CCD camera 71.

[0048] The LED light source 72 is mounted on the operating platform 11 in an adjustable relative position via a straight mounting plate 73, and extends out of the operating platform 11. The CCD camera 71 is mounted on the operating platform 11 in an adjustable relative position via an L-shaped mounting plate 74, and extends out of the operating platform 11. The L-shaped mounting plate 74 is stacked on the straight mounting plate 73, and the lower end of the CCD camera 71 extends out of the lower end of the straight mounting plate 73 through a hole in the straight mounting plate 73. The assembly structure is simple, easy to install, low in cost, and easy to debug, making it more convenient to use.

[0049] In addition, a vacuum box 21 is provided at the lower end of the workbench 2, and a light-transmitting adsorption plate 23 is provided at the upper end of the workbench 2, which is adapted to the vacuum box 21 and used to adsorb and position irregular armbands. The light-transmitting adsorption plate 23 is provided with multiple vacuum holes 22, and a vacuum adsorption area is formed between the vacuum holes 22. When the irregular armband is placed on the vacuum adsorption area, the vacuum holes 22 generate negative pressure to adsorb the irregular armband.
